Dave Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Just seen these, it's amazing how low the McLaren nose is even without the platiplus look lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve! Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Not sure if anyone saw it but there was an interesting comment in part of the live feed of the testing yesterday (I think, can't really tell what day it is atm!) where essentially, they asked Adrian Newey about it and essentially he claimed that McLaren already pursued a lower more aggressive front end to the chassis so the changes where not as big to them as the other teams, and then they said that it was his own designs from his McLaren days that began that he claimed that it was before the major spec changes a few years back and what applied then isn't applicable anymore! So it will be interesting to see how the McLaren does perform and if it proves him right or wrong! Although I can't help but hope its the latter just because I don't want to keep seeing such ugly cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember they had a loft upstairs with a load of all the old F1 cars though. Oh how I would appreciate it so much more now! Should be a good watch though, I cycle past there place sometimes and often wonder whats going on in there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 This doesn't look good Red Bull are flying out a new chassis for the final two days in Barcelona armed with a series of high-profile and critical upgrades as the testing season goes into dramatic overdrive. Ted Kravitz told Sky Sports News: "It's not only parts, it's a whole new car that's being flown out from the Red Bull factory in Milton Keynes.
